“Monika does a wonderful job looking after our senior kitty who needs extra care due to diabetes. She really makes a connection and we can tell that our cat absolutely adores her. We know he's in good hands with her each time we need to be away!”

“Jenny is an exceptional pet sitter who went above and beyond in caring for my cat, Louie. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals was evident from the moment she started. She sent updates with photos of Louie, showing him looking happy and content. Not only did Jenny follow Louie's feeding schedule meticulously, but she also spent quality time playing with him and giving him the attention he needs. She noticed his favorite spots around the house and made sure to give him scratches and pets just where he likes them. What impressed me most was her conscientiousness. She kept the litter box impeccably clean and even noticed when Louie was being a bit shy and knew exactly how to coax him out with his favorite toys. She left detailed notes about his daily activities, eating habits, and general mood. I returned home to find a happy, well-cared-for cat who clearly had been given lots of love and attention. Jenny's professional yet caring approach gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitter. She's truly a gem!”

About: The two loves of my life were my dog, Abby, and my dog Bronx. Abby was a Siberian husky and Bronx a 15” lemon beagle. Bronx was part of my life for 20 years and just recently passed. I honestly can’t imagine a life without animals in it, and one day I wanna be able to reflect back on my life, knowing that I did as much as I could to help as many animals as possible, which is why becoming a part of ROVER is so appealing. I have an incredibly flexible work schedule that will enable me to schedule my work hours around my hours caring for animals. I truly believe that animals are every bit as important as we are, and I think pet owners will be able to rest easy, leaving their pets in my care, knowing that their health and safety will be of the utmost importance to me! I have a two-story condo that they would be able to spend most of their time in with me. I also have a heated garage that I’ve converted into a safe and comfortable area for animals to play in. In addition to that, I live in Woodbury, literally surrounded by parks, full of walking paths that will be ideal for a dogs exercise. One thing I would like pet owners to know is that I’m not doing this for the money, I’m doing this because I’m newly single and alone and can’t think of anybody better to spend my time with than animals in need. I wouldn’t just be some dog watcher, I would be their friend that plays with them and loves being with them.

“Was so attentive and helpful with the last minute need of a pet sitter. Gina sent so many pictures so I knew my pup was being taken care of while I was gone.”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! I treat my dog as my child and he loves playmates. I have been a foster with Cocos Heart Dog Rescue for over four years, where I have provided a home for shy, breeder release dogs, and within days, we have become best friends. I am a go to for watching my friends and neighbors dogs. I love everything from play time with young puppies, and the sweet cuddles with senior dogs. I work fully remote, so pets get frequent attention, play time, and walks. My dog gets fed once in the morning and one at night, but I am flexible with feeding schedules and keep dogs separate during feeding time. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I strive to create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where every dog can feel at home. I understand that being in a new space can feel overwhelming, so I always give new dogs plenty of time to sniff, explore, and get comfortable at their own pace without feeling rushed. I have a friendly, confident dog of my own, and I take introductions seriously. When a new dog arrives, I keep my dog in a separate area so the new pup can explore and settle in independently before they meet. I believe in slow, supervised introductions and always pay attention to each dog’s body language and comfort level. I also take precautions to keep my home pet-friendly, prevent access to potential hazards, and ensure dogs have their own space to relax. I want every pup in my care to feel safe, loved, and right at home, with plenty of attention, patience, and affection.

“Joel provided an amazing drop-in service for us twice daily for 6 days for our 4 senior Dachshunds. He communicated with us each time he stopped by and sent pictures of the pups eating, getting some outdoor play time and settling down for naps until his next visit. They truly bonded with him because he gave them the kind of attention they crave—food, belly rubs and back scratches. One of the pups is blind and he helped her up and down the steps to walk in the grass. We could enjoy our trip knowing our pups were getting great care and attention while their needs were being met. Very satisfied with the job Joel did for us!!”

About: Caring for pets has been a part of my life for a long time, through both pets of our own and foster pets! We’ve been fostering for the past decade and have cared for over 30 dogs and cats. I have experience with dogs with all kinds of personalities, including shy, anxious, and reactive. My favorite thing about animals is they all have their own personalities, and I love learning about who they are! My approach is to meet pets where they’re at and let them set the pace for our interactions, especially those who need a little extra time to feel comfortable with someone new. Senior dogs have an especially big place in my heart, as we have two of our own, and I’m very comfortable with the extra patience and care older pups sometimes need. I’ve also fostered and spent time with dogs of many breeds, sizes, and personalities, including bully breeds which are always welcome! I work a hybrid schedule, and will spend most of my day with your pet. When I leave, it will generally be no longer than about 4 hours at a time, whether for work or to see my own pets and family. If I expect I’ll need to be gone longer than this at any point during the stay, I’ll let you know before booking! I will treat your home as a guest in it; I’m tidy and will clean up after me and your pets! What is helpful for me to know is what your pet’s typical day looks like, if they have any favorite or important parts to their routine, and ways they like to get stimulation (walk, play, puzzles). Where do they sleep? As much information as you can tell me about your pet is better so I can keep things as normal for them as possible!

About: I have professional experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs in both daycare and boarding environments. My responsibilities included supervising groups of dogs, providing meals and medications when needed, maintaining clean and safe play areas, giving dogs individual attention, and making sure each pet was comfortable and well cared for during their stay. I also have experience grooming dogs, including bathing, brushing, drying, and general coat care. Working in a professional pet-care environment taught me how to handle dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs while keeping their safety and happiness a priority. work full-time in the afternoons and evenings, so I have great availability for pet care during the mornings and early afternoons. I’m also available on my days off and can work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I’m dependable and will make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. take pet safety and comfort very seriously. I’m experienced caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, ages, and needs, and I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I’ll keep your home secure, make sure your pets have everything they need, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“Friendly. Came over for a visit beforehand for his drop ins. Took notes on where things were and everything. My boys gets so excited to see him.”

About: I've been around animals my entire life and honestly can't imagine not having them around. Growing up, my family had both Labrador Retrievers and a Beagle, so I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Taking care of them was just a normal part of everyday life, and has allowed me to feel comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to laid-back older dogs. I've also always had cats growing up, and now I have two of my own. Being a cat owner has taught me how different every cat can be and how important it is to respect their routines and personalities. Whether your pet loves to play, go on walks, or just wants someone to keep them company, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I know how much pets mean to their families because I feel the same way about mine, and I'll treat yours with the same care and attention I'd want for my own. I work full-time during the week, but pet care fits easily into my routine with plenty of availability after 4 PM for drop-ins, walks, and check-ins. I also typically have holidays off, which gives me extra flexibility to spend time caring for pets when families may need help the most. My weekends offer the most availability, and I’m happy to dedicate that time to giving pets attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m used to building pet care into my everyday routine and making sure each animal receives the love, care, and consistency they need while their owners are away. I primarily provide care in my clients’ homes through drop-in visits and house sitting, which allows pets to stay comfortable in the environment they know best. I understand that keeping their normal routine is important, so I make sure to follow their feeding schedules, medication instructions (if needed), exercise routines, and any special preferences they have. During visits, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship while also taking care of the little things that help pets feel secure, like refreshing water, cleaning up after them, and making sure they are comfortable in their space. For house sitting, I treat each home with the same respect and care I would want for my own, while keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

“Dakota appears to have checked all boxes requested! Cats are older and pretty inactive, but i see no problems at all. Communication was steady and reliable. Thanks Dakota! Planning on using her in the very near future if she is available.”

“Kari saved me from worrying about my puppy during two long work days. She stopped by for two half hour visits each day sending me photos upon arrival and during playtime. I was able to stay focused on my work knowing Kari was taking care of Milla.”

“This was my first time having a sitter. Stanley is getting older and does not like staying in kennels anymore. Lisa did an ** Outstanding job !!** and went above and beyond to make Stanley happy and cared for !! She kept us updated about every visit and sent pictures so we knew exactly how Stanley was doing. When we arrived back home from our 7 day vacation Stanley was happy and energetic !! Leave your best friend in Caring and Dependable hands !! Thanks again Lisa! ”

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I can remember! When I was about 10 years old I finally convinced my parents to get a dog. Since then my love for animals has only continued to grow. I am currently hoping to spend more time with some lovely animals! I’m always on the go and spend as much time outside as possible! I’d love to fit your pet into my schedule and get out for get some fresh air and a nice walk! I have a fenced in yard with no other pets in a quiet neighborhood. Dogs are allowed inside as there is plenty of room for play!

“Victoria was awesome. Arrived on time and kept communication lines open. Teddy loved the drop in visits as well. Would recommend her and would use her again! Thank you for taking care of Teddy for me!”
